Hakeem is building a box in the shape of a right rectangular prism to store his toys. It has a volume of 162,000 cubic centimeters. What is the width of the box if the height is 40 cm and the length is 90 cm?

Question

158,400 cm

45 cm

15 cm

40 cm

Answer 1

To find the width of the box, we can use the formula for volume of a rectangular prism: :Volume = Length x Width x Height.

In this case, the volume is given as 162,000 cubic centimeters, the height is given as 40 cm, and the length is given as 90 cm.

162,000 = 90 x Width x 40

Simplifying the equation, we get:

162,000 = 3600 x Width

To solve for the Width, we divide both sides of the equation by 3600:

Width = 162,000 / 3600
Width = 45 cm

Therefore, the width of the box is 45 cm.
